[London : 1750 (or later)]. A large and handsome eighteenth century map of the county on a scale of five-eighths of an inch to the mile. Compiled by Emanuel Bowen, Geographer to George II, and originally produced for a series of maps separately sold from 1749 on and eventually published as "The Large English Atlas" (London 1760 and later editions). The particular charm of this series of maps resides in the numerous historical and geographical notes that fill up blank spaces and corners - with notes in this case on the medicinal springs of Dulwich, the manufacture of brass plates at Wandsworth, the river navigation from Guildford to London, etc. With a finely engraved dedication panel (to Lord Onslow) and a pastoral cartouche in the rococo style of the period.
Copper line engraving on paper. Original outline hand colour. Engraved surface 522 x 698mm (approx. 20-5/8" x 27-1/2"). Cropped close at margins, with some minor repair and remargining, but still a most attractive map. A guaranteed genuine antique map.

London : Chapman & Hall, [1833?]. A separately published version of the Hall map originally issued in November 1831 with the John Gorton part-work "A Topographical Dictionary of Great Britain and Ireland". All the maps in this series are generally credited to Sidney Hall (1788?-1831), but maps towards the end of the series were in fact prepared and engraved after Hall's death (in February 1831) by his widow and successor, Selina Hall.
Line engraving on paper. Original outline hand colour. Engraved surface 195 x 245mm (approx. 7-3/4" x 9-3/4"). Dissected, mounted on linen, and folding into the publishers' original cloth case. As is usual with this issue of the maps, the original 1831 date has been erased by the publishers by hand. In very good state indeed for an ephemeral item of this type. A guaranteed genuine antique map.
